We run an invite e-mail distribution list, so if you would like to be invited to our future “Shoot and Meets” then please send an e-mail to webmaster@princedavidlodge.217-154-61-197.plesk.page

It is a closed and secure e-mail distribution list. Members on the list do not see the e-mail addresses of anyone else on the list and messages are sent as a single e-mail to avoid being trapped in a spam filter (it will appear as a single e-mail to you from the sender)

This list is not available to anyone outside Prince David Lodge. Only someone on the list can send an e-mail to the list so any 3rd party who tries to send to it will be rejected by the server (this is to avoid any spam attempt)

This distribution list is not just for masons but is open to anyone who is interested. All our shoots are open to non-members, the presentations we do at the end of our Lodge Meetings are open to everyone

A lot of the time we have a White Table afterwards instead of a Festive Board, this means wives, partners, friends and non-masons can join us for a good dinner and excellent company afterwards 🙂

WO1 K Hughes receiving his George Cross from Her Majesty

We’re very much looking forward to WO1 K Hughes GC giving a presentation on “his experiences as Ammunition Technical Officer in the Royal Logistics Corps at home and abroad” at our next shoot and meet on 20th April

On 20th April the shoot is open to experienced to novice shooters, the meeting is very short, followed by WO1 K Hughes talk (open to all, masons and non-masons) followed by a White Table, open to all including wives, partners and friends

Congratulations to W.Bro. Mike Bushby for being Installed as Worshipful Master for Prince David Lodge for 2016

We were very lucky to be graced by the presence of the R.W.Bro. Eric Stuart-Bamford, Provincial Grand Master

Prince David Lodge also took the opportunity to present the PGM with a cheque for the Surrey 2019 Festival and the members of the Lodge also presented him with a gift from the Lodge, a beautiful gun cleaning station

Our commiserations go out to our IPM who suffered another injury which precluded him from attending, we all hope you recover soon

A message from our new WM:

The charities that I would like to support this year

• ABF The Soldiers Charity
• Parkinson’s
• 2019 Festival for the RMBI
• TLC (Teddies for loving care)

There may be the odd one off charity to support as well

Please come along and support the Lodges shoots, they will be enjoyable and the meetings will be different and interesting

Gun debate in Britain tends to focus on what is happening in the US, but more than 700,000 firearm owners live in England and Wales. Who are they, and why do some want laws relaxed?
